Foy Vance Australian Tour

Foy Vance is so much more than Ed Sheeran’s friend or a man with an odd moustache. He’s a raconteur, a father and the son of a preacher man.

The reference points in Vance’s track belie a deep-rooted inspiration stemming from the working class music of American. Coupled with an appreciation for folk music from Ireland and the U.S, the sound of Foy Vance has a purity and honesty that encapsulates the man himself. Pictures of rolling hills and incredible natural beauty are evoked when he sings.

When Vance moves to discuss love he sounds like a cross between Nebraska era Springsteen and Josh Ritter when we first picked up an electric guitar. But you can make all the comparisons you like, Vance’s ability to traverse the tricky subject of romance with such ease is truly unique.

He is perhaps of another time in his appearance but his music takes what has been held true for centuries in folk music and drags it right into the modern day. A feat attempted by many but accomplished by few.

The last time Foy Vance was in Australia he was with Elton John and Ed Sheeran, that’s famous company to keep. This time, however, Vance returns to play a headline tour on his own.

Vance live is a raw, intimate and visceral experience. He’s loud and passionate at times and bewitchingly quiet at others. Simultaneously moving an audience to inward reflection of lovers lost and shouting about the ideas of Chomsky. If you’re in Australia this September, go see Vance. It will be an experience to rival all others.
